For $1,000 more, I would put that money towards another cruise, but that’s just me. There’s no way I would spend that much more on a balcony, I would just hang out on on the open decks.

I’ve been to Alaska in August and a couple of times it was 80 degrees in Juneau and Skagway and people were in the pool at sail away. I changed into shorts and lounged by the pool. Just bring layers and you’ll be good to go.

This is exactly why I tip them about $3 per bag. I don’t want to take any chances, it’s a small price to pay for somewhat peace of mind.

When my daughter was playing travel softball, we always brought her glove and ball with us. She was a pitcher so on some port days, when the sports court wasn’t in use, her and her dad would practice there.

I'm in Southern California and I don't have the Live Chat on any of my devices.

It seems only most of the wines have been affected by this change. I don't know about Good Spirits bar though, if your ship has one and if you go there.

It's a nice thought for you to feel good, but this reminds me of when my kids played sports and after every game, during the coach talk, they are given "goodie bags". Just give the crew cash, they are adults. Of course when you hand this to them, they are going to seem genuinely appreciative because they have manners and wouldn't be rude.

Do you happen to know why that is? I'm looking at booking my very first X cruise on Solstice with this itinerary for one of the dates in Oct and there are many, many cabins still available and the price is really good.

It's been a while since my last NCL cruise but was on the Escape 2017and Bliss 2018, Le Bistro was excellent both times. To me, Cagneys is not as good as it used to be.

Thanks for explaining.

The Regal is showing three separate sailings for the same date, a 7 day, a 14 day and a 21 day for 9/10. All of those are showing unavailable. That’s probably why. I’ve never seen that before. Princess needs to figure out which one to go with.

No worries, thanks for checking because you never know. 😉 Yeah, mine defaulted to the October one as well.

What site are you looking at, on Princess, it's still unavailable? Are you looking at 9/24 - 10 day Mexico & 10/4 - Hawaii?

That, I don't know, she could have. I'm not sure when the dry dock schedule is/was for her.

According to LBCABob on my roll call, on 6/14 she was anchored in Limassol (Cypress) then on 7/2 she was in Italy.

The phone reps don't know anything and they certainly aren't going to say it's canceled even if they know it is until it's officially announced. There were a couple of people on my roll call that called and the reps/TA's said it was fine but didn't know why its showing "unavailable".

I'm on this cruise with my brother & SIL as well and I've been watching this. The cruise is not sold out. It was either last Monday or Tuesday, there was lots if interior availability on all decks/locations then the next day, it showed "currently not available". I don't have a good feeling also. The previous cruises before ours were canceled I heard due to staffing issues with visas. Not sure if that's still the case or not. Also, the RT Hawaii cruise right after ours has been showing the same thing and the folks on the roll call there are really concerned as well. I'm expecting the worse, but hoping for the best and looking for alternative cruises.

We were. Maybe it was just the guy in Princess Live! We were regulars in there for trivia and other things going on but when I sat down and ordered, he told me he can't bring the other drink because my brother's medallion has to be within the range or something like that.

They are not the same size. I know deck 9 Dolphin & deck 11 Baja have the largest. You can google pictures and it will show you what they look like. I know someone posted a descriptive photo of the aft cabins, you can search this forum for that.

When I was on the Discovery Princess last April, my first cruise with the medallion, while waiting for my brother to meet up with me, the bartender would not let me order a drink for him along with my own unless he was there also. Not a big deal but kind of a pain to have to wait for them to come around again. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

If you can get a mini suite (it's not club class) on deck 8 Emerald, those are completely covered.

Both of those cruises were not sold out. There were lots of insides still available. I hope I'm wrong but I don't have high hopes for my 9/24 cruise actually sailing. I have some alternatives in mind if it doesn't go.

It's working fine for me but my cruise on Sapphire 9/24 has been showing "currently unavailable" for three days now. It's the first cruise after previous cancellations so I'm thinking it too, might be canned. The same thing for the Hawaii leaving on the day we disembark. 😳

There is one potential problem to consider, if the weather is bad/too windy the following day and they can't use the tenders, you will be stuck.

Great ship! Was on her in 2018. Loved the Observatory!
